Mascom International stocks the BOYA Omic-D at KSh 11,000, a dual-transmitter wireless mic set with a Lightning receiver for iPhone 14 and earlier models and Lightning iPads. It arrives brand new and sealed. The BOYA Omic-D slots into the iPhone's charging port, picks up two speakers at once, and reaches up to 50 metres over a 2.4GHz link. A pocket charging case keeps each transmitter going for up to 15 hours in total, against about 5 hours on a single charge. You can pick one up at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for iPhone owners who create content, the BOYA Omic-D handles interviews, cooking videos, sermons, classroom recordings and customer testimonials. Many Kenyans still carry an iPhone 11, 12, 13 or 14, and those phones capture sharp video but thin, echoing sound once the speaker steps back. The BOYA Omic-D solves that by placing a transmitter on each speaker's clothing, a hand's width from the mouth. Estate agents in Kilimani, chefs in Mombasa and lecturers at Strathmore get speech that sounds close even in a lively room. A single button switches on noise cancellation.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell loose Lightning mics with no case or written cover, Mascom International supplies the BOYA Omic-D complete, with a 6-month warranty handled at our own service desk. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the magnetic mount suits T-shirts and blouses where a clip has nothing to grip. At Mascom International, we're seeing iPhone users choose a dedicated Lightning kit over adapters, which add a fragile extra joint. Walk in to try the BOYA Omic-D on your own iPhone, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to your county.
Common Questions About the BOYA Omic-D
How much is the BOYA Omic-D in Kenya?
The BOYA Omic-D sells for KSh 11,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International, Kimathi Street, Nairobi. You get the Lightning receiver, two transmitters, the charging case, magnets and clips, plus 6 months of warranty cover. The USB-C twin, the BOYA Omic-U, costs the same. If budget is tight, the BOYA BY-V2 is a Lightning kit at KSh 6,700, KSh 4,300 less, though it has no charging case. Pay on arrival when the parcel reaches you.
Which iPhones and iPads work with the BOYA Omic-D?
The BOYA Omic-D fits any iPhone or iPad with a Lightning port, including the iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12, iPhone 11 and iPhone SE models. It does not fit iPhone 15 or later, which switched to USB-C; those phones need the BOYA Omic-U. The receiver takes its power from the iPhone, so keep the screen on and the recording app open while you shoot. Bring your device to our Nairobi CBD shop and we will confirm the fit before you pay.
Is the BOYA Omic-D worth paying more than the BOYA BY-V2?
The BOYA Omic-D costs KSh 4,300 more than the BOYA BY-V2, and the main thing that money buys is the charging case. With the case, each BOYA Omic-D transmitter reaches up to 15 hours, against 9 hours on one charge for the BOYA BY-V2. The BOYA Omic-D also extends frequency response to 20kHz, against 16kHz, and mounts by magnet. Pick the BOYA Omic-D for long shoot days; pick the BOYA BY-V2 for short clips on a tighter budget.
Can you hear yourself through headphones while recording with the BOYA Omic-D?
No, the BOYA Omic-D has no headphone monitoring, so you cannot listen live while you record. You can still play clips back through the iPhone speaker with the receiver plugged in. The simple habit that works is a ten-second test: record a line, play it back, then start the real take. Creators who must monitor every word, such as podcasters running long studio sessions, should choose a system with a headphone output instead.
Can the BOYA Omic-D be used outdoors in Kenyan heat, dust and rain?
The BOYA Omic-D works outdoors, but BOYA states no water or dust resistance rating, so treat it as an indoor-grade device you carry outside with care. Keep the transmitters dry during the long rains, and slip the kit into its case between takes on dusty roads upcountry. Do not leave it on a car dashboard in the Mombasa or Garissa sun, because heat shortens lithium battery life. Wipe the grilles with a dry cloth after each outdoor shoot.
How do you keep the BOYA Omic-D charged on a long shoot day?
Each BOYA Omic-D transmitter runs about 5 hours on a full charge, and the 300mAh case can refill each one twice. Rotate them during breaks: dock the transmitters in the case while guests eat or the choir sings, then clip them back on. The case weighs 90g, so it rides in a handbag without notice. The receiver needs no charging at all, but it draws from your iPhone, so carry a power bank on wedding days.
Is the BOYA Omic-D good for church services and conferences?
Yes, the BOYA Omic-D suits sermons, panel talks and conference sessions recorded on an iPhone, as long as one or two people speak. Each speaker wears a transmitter, and both voices arrive on one mono track. The 120dB sound pressure ceiling copes with a preacher raising his voice. Latency of about 25 milliseconds keeps speech in sync on video. For a hall feed to a mixer or PA system, you need a receiver with a 3.5mm or XLR output instead.
Who should buy the BOYA Omic-D and who should skip it?
Buy the BOYA Omic-D if you record speech on a Lightning iPhone or iPad and plan to keep that device for a year or more. It suits vloggers, journalists, NGO field staff and online sellers who film two people at once. Skip it if you are upgrading to iPhone 15 or later soon, because the BOYA Omic-U fits those phones and Android too. Skip it as well if you need gain control, a low-cut filter or backup recording.
Technical Specifications
Sound Capture and Core Function
- Dual-channel transmission — two speakers each wear a transmitter, and both voices reach one Lightning receiver.
- 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response — reproduces the whole spoken range, so voices keep their natural warmth and detail.
- 48kHz sampling — matches the audio standard of phone video, so sound and picture stay aligned in editing.
- Over 80dB signal-to-noise ratio — keeps electronic hiss low beneath quiet or soft-spoken voices.
- 120dB sound pressure handling — copes with a loud speaker or singer close to the transmitter without cracking.
- Single-button noise cancellation — lowers constant background sounds such as air conditioners and road noise.
- Mono output with 25ms latency — both speakers land on one track, with delay too short to notice on video.
Compatibility and Connection
- Lightning receiver — fits iPhone 14 and earlier models and iPads that still use the Lightning port.
- Not for USB-C devices — iPhone 15 and later need the BOYA Omic-U, the USB-C version of this kit.
- 2.4GHz link up to 50 metres — measured in open space; walls, crowds and bodies reduce the distance.
- Power drawn from the iPhone — the receiver has no battery; keep the screen on and the recording app open.
- Playback while plugged in — listen back to clips through the iPhone speaker without removing the receiver.
- No headphone monitoring — you cannot hear the mic live through earphones while a recording runs.
Battery and Charging Case
- About 5 hours per transmitter per charge — enough for a conference morning or a wedding ceremony and speeches.
- Up to 15 hours per transmitter with case top-ups — the case recharges each transmitter twice before it runs flat.
- 300mAh case battery — charges the transmitters away from a socket, in a bag, car or venue corner.
- Built-in rechargeable lithium cells — no disposable batteries to buy, stock or throw away.
- Receiver needs no charging — it runs from the iPhone's own battery for as long as the phone lasts.
Build and Mounting
- 36 x 36 x 9.7mm transmitter — a flat square that sits flush on a shirt front or lapel.
- 15.5g transmitter weight — barely felt on a collar through a long session or a full service.
- Magnet and clip mounting — the magnet grips through thin fabric, while the clip suits collars, ties and pockets.
- 96 x 46.5 x 37mm case weighing 90g — slips into a handbag, laptop sleeve or jacket pocket.
- Physical control buttons — press-and-feel controls that work without looking at the transmitter.
- Black and white options — choose the colour that disappears against your usual outfit on camera.
Inclusions and Setup
- Lightning receiver — plugs into the iPhone or iPad and gathers both transmitter signals.
- Two transmitters — one per speaker, each mounted on its own magnet or clip.
- Charging case — holds and recharges the transmitters and keeps every piece of the kit together.
- Magnets and clips — mounting hardware for heavy jackets, thin blouses and everything between.
- User manual — first-use steps, including the iPhone screen and recording-app notes.
Package Contents
Open the BOYA Omic-D box and you find the Lightning receiver, two transmitters resting in their charging case, a set of magnets and clips, and the user manual. Nothing else is needed to start recording on a Lightning iPhone. A wall adapter is not part of the box, so charge the case from a USB charger you already use. If you need one, Mascom International carries USB wall chargers and power banks for shoot days away from a socket.

The BOYA Omic-D ships with a 6-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use across the receiver, both transmitters and the charging case. Claims are handled in person at our service desk, Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD; bring the unit and your receipt.
